Group report preparing the ground for standardising the components and internal interfaces of quantum key distribution systems. Regardless of the underlying technology, it identifies devices common to most QKD systems, from photon sources and detectors to classical protocol-processing hardware and operating systems, lists properties of these components that should later be standardised, and catalogues requirements for the interfaces between them.
